This 1966 breakfast menu is all contained on one side of a single card, as opposed to the folders used for 1950sGolden State menus.

East of El Paso, the Sunset became known as the “Train from Hell” because Southern Pacific replaced the coffee shop car and diner with an infamous automat car where people could buy sandwiches and other foods in a large vending machine. Sunset passengers were no doubt relieved to have access to the Golden State diner west of El Paso.

Only memorabilia scanned and stored (usually) as PDFs are indexed under the types of memorabilia; many articles have jpegs of postcards, posters, and other things found on the web that are not indexed.
